The safety management system shall comply with applicable provisions of environmental, labour, safety, and social protection, maritime and other applicable national laws and Best International Industry Standards and Practices. 26.2. The safety management system must identify, address, and manage health, safety and environmental hazards and impacts during design, construction, commencement, operation, inspection, maintenance, and decommissioning or abandonment of all offshore facilities, including mobile offshore drilling units while under Guyana’s Exclusive Economic Zone. 26.3. The Contractor‘s subcontractors shall be familiar with the Contractor’s safety management systems and shall have safety and environmental policies and practices that are consistent with the Operator’s safety management system. 26.4. The safety management system shall include: (a) Hazard identification and risk analysis report identifying, evaluating, and reducing the likelihood and or minimizing the consequences of uncontrolled release and other safety or environmental hazards. Such analysis must take into account human factors; (b) Safe work practices which must be disseminated to all workers, employees, and contractors. Such work practices must be designed to minimize the risks associated with operating, maintenance and modification activities, and the handling of materials and substances that could affect the health, safety, and environment; (c) Management of change, which is a systematic and continually evolving programme to identify and control safety risks during change. Change includes change of equipment, materials, procedures, systems, facilities, personnel, and risk assessment. The procedures should be flexible enough to incorporate both major and minor changes, and ensure, so long as operations continue, that both equipment and installations remain fit for their intended purpose, operating procedures remain appropriate for those uses, and the personnel continue to be both qualified and competent; (d) Operating procedures including requirements for written facility operating procedures designed to enhance efficient, safe, and environmentally sound operations. Operating procedures must be periodically reviewed to make sure they reflect current and actual operating practices, including any changes reviewed as part of management of change; (e) Training programs that ensure that all personnel are trained to work safely and are aware of environmental considerations offshore. Such training shall include among others, safe work practices, emergency response and control measures, operating procedures, etc.; (f) Mechanical integrity consisting of written procedures to ensure that both equipment and facilities are designed, constructed, tested, inspected, monitored, and maintained in a condition fit for service and safe to operate for personnel and the environment. The procedures must incorporate a predictive, preventive, and corrective maintenance programme. Human factors regarding equipment accessibility for operation, maintenance and testing must be considered; (g) Emergency response plans in accordance with International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation. The plans should be validated by drills addressing the readiness of personnel and their interaction with equipment; (h) Employee participation process to ensure that employees with sufficient knowledge and experience participate in preparation of relevant analyses to ensure that matters of significance for working environment and health and safety are explored; (i) Incident reporting and investigations procedures for reporting and investigation of all accidents and incidents with serious safety or environmental consequences. The procedures must require that investigations are expedited, and recommendations resolved in a timely manner. Incident investigation should be conducted by personnel with relevant knowledge in the processes involved, investigation techniques and the relevant specialties; (j) Performance monitoring programme to provide the necessary process and structure for monitoring and revising health and safety goals and programs. Such programs shall include: a) identification of key performance indicators; b) verification of barrier performance standards; c) review and implementation of audit findings; d) incident and accident investigations, including near misses; and e) regular review and integration with management; (k) Audit programme and procedures for the periodic audit of the safety and environmental management system undertaken not less than every three (3) years to systematically assess the adequacy of the safety management system of each facility. Audits shall be carried out by personnel within the organization and by independent third-party organizations accredited under the Center for Offshore Safety or classification societies approved by the Minister and hired by the Contractor. The audit programme must also provide for annual compliance audits focused on specific requirements, programmes, or facilities; (l) Performance monitoring programme to provide the necessary process and structure for monitoring and revising health and safety goals and programs including among others key performance indicators and verification of barrier performance standards; (m) Records and documentation demonstrating compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulation and the safety management system. Such record could be electronic or paper and must be made available to the Minister or accredited audit service providers when conducting audit of the system or facilities.
